Oldest daughter and husband used to go to the KY Derby every year. They and their kids enjoyed it back then. Daughter and granddaughter liked to do the special dress-up and big hat thing and seeing all the celebrities. All but their youngest are grown and out of the house now, with one son in his senior year there at U of L and granddaughter in her freshman year at UK. Think it probably got to be less and less of an special family event for them and the kids as they got older.
